BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

Hmm, An insightful analysis of John McCain! "John McCain might be president in six months. And whether it's his own shaky judgment, temperament or just the desire to find a campaign issue, this loose cannon is a real threat to this country." And some good advice America should take note of!

Obviously, I didn't view the same "Faith Forum" that the bobbleheads at CNN saw! I saw Barack Obama having a very personal, thoughtful, and revealing conversation with "senior pastor Rick Warren." Not so with John McCain, all I heard was the same old, same old, tired rhetoric McCain delivers in every stump speech he's ever given, with a few somewhat unbelievable tales thrown in for good measure!!! In the end, I say thanks but no thanks to John McCain, whose only claim to fame is war, war, and more war!!!

"PASTOR RICK WARREN, SADDLEBACK CHURCH: ‘...we have safely placed Senator McCain in a cone of silence.'" Whoops! "SANCHEZ: Last night I heard you say that McCain would be in a cone of silence. Then half-hour into the event I hear our guys here at our political desk announce McCain has just arrived at the worship center. I'm thinking, hey, if he just arrived at the worship center, he couldn't have been in the cone of silence. Right? WARREN: Well, that's true. He was in a cone of -- a Secret Service motorcade. That's exactly for sure. SANCHEZ: But you said -- I'm going to pressure you just a little bit, because I love this cone of silence thing...‘We flipped a coin,' you said, ‘and we have safely placed Senator McCain in a cone of silence.' That's what you said. Did you think at the time -- when you said that, did you think he was in the cone of silence -- did you think he was in the building?" And then Whoops again, "WARREN: Actually, yes, I did. There was actually a question I got to Senator Obama in advance that I didn't get to Senator McCain because he wasn't there. I actually wrote down on a piece of paper the very first question, because I wanted them both to be relaxed. I said here's the very first question. I gave it to both of them. But I also told Senator Obama, since there was one question where I was going to ask for a commitment, it was a commitment later about would you allow a president's emergency plan for orphans. I thought if I was going to ask for a public commitment, I ought to let him know in advance. I got to tell Barack Obama that in advance. I did not get to tell John McCain that in advance. It caught him by surprise, I'm sure." Leaving us with the question exactly when did you give BOTH OF THEM the very same question, if you didn't give it to McCain in advance because he wasn't there! And frankly, I don't believe John McCain was surprised at any of the questions posed!

"McCain protests NBC coverage... the campaign is objecting to a statement by NBC's Andrea Mitchell on 'Meet the Press' questioning whether McCain might have gotten a heads-up on some of the questions that were asked of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), who was the first candidate to be interviewed Saturday night by Pastor Rick Warren at a presidential forum on faith." Another instance of "methinks thou doth protest too much" John McCain!!! It boils down to "WHEN the shoe fits wear it," it won't be the first time you cheated McCain!!! And by the by McCain, haven't you ever heard, "you don't bite the hands that feed you," complaining about one of your biggest "cheerleaders" is definitely not a good move on your part!!!
